Installing the Communication Cable

After finalizing the cable route, run the communication cable (ADS

p/n 106227) between the monitor location and the designated EMU

location in the following way:

Note:

The following instructions represent a

communication cable installation that occurs from the

EMU location to the manhole through soil. If a transition

must occur through asphalt or concrete, create a ½-inch

(13-mm) wide by 1-inch (25-mm), at a minimum, deep saw

cut trench. Make sure the opening and communication

cable are clean and free of dirt, debris, and grease before

laying the cable. Use only approved loop sealant or

concrete joint sealant to secure the cable into roadway. To

prevent wear or damage to the communication cable, avoid

sharp transitions where the concrete or asphalt meets other

surfaces.

1. Remove the orange connector from the communication cable

end, if attached, and inspect the ends of each small wire

extending from the cable.

2. Verify the wire ends are stripped correctly with ¼-inch (6 mm)

exposed. If any wire ends are not stripped or are stripped less
